Since I last changed my URL, I died

this is what my previous incarnation currently looks like:

But I was also reborn anew, with a more powerful, flexible, and effective body! Gaze upon my jankily-subnetted form!

Now with full AE2 automation, somewhat expandable pattern interfaces, 8 times the parallels, 17.6 times the speed overall (when power suffices), much higher max temperature, and overall a greatly-improved effectiveness.

Sometimes I wonder if we’ve spent too much time as a society wondering if computers can be people

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah wondering where humanity begins and computers end is an interesting thought but people think that ChatGPT knows them. That thing is not a person by like any measurement we know of. It doesn’t have opinions. It regurgitates statistically likely word salad and scrapes answers wholesale from Reddit.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Questions about the potential personhood of machines feel kinda stupid now? Like these large language models clearly aren’t people. And to a certain extent, why would you want to make a computer that’s a person with feelings and personal opinions? You’ve made something and trapped it inside of a computer at the whims of programmers. Why? Why do that to something? Even if it was possible. It doesn’t fully seem like it is yet.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The guys who don’t think that computers can be people are usually the unenlightened ones in these stories but frankly I think that my cats are closer to being people than a chatbot is.

the human brain is so cool, if you're tired and stressed enough, your brain will go, "don't worry, I got you" and shadows will start moving

[fidelcostco]

and what's the genital situation on the shadows

Yeah man they just passed a new law where you have to say something about the Divine Comedy that isn't that it's "self-insert fanfic"

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[whitachi]

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

[araceil]

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

Everyone has an accent it came free with your language 🙄

[audliminal]

Congrats to every reply like this for failing to understand the fundamental definition of an accent. Of course you think you sound normal! It's the way you speak!

[salarta]

Gonna sign language at you in a very southern accent

[inthewaytoamultilinguallife]

Sign languages also comes with accents, you can easily watch people sign and tell the difference

You get different sign language accents, you get regional accents, and you even get "second language speaker accent"

October 3, 1992:  Sinead O’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an  acapella cover of Bob Marley’s song “War”, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying “fight the real enemy”.

This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.

[ambulancevsambulance]

Please remember she didn’t consider it as a career ruiner. 

To speak on how it “ruined” her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.
